The snatch and clean & jerk demand more technical precision than almost any movement in sport. We understand the positions, the demands, and how to get you back under the bar.
Generic PT tells you to rest. We build your rehab around the barbell — because the snatch and clean & jerk are where you need to perform.
The receiving position of the snatch and clean & jerk places extreme demand on shoulder mobility, hip depth, and wrist stability. We assess your overhead position, catch mechanics, and receiving depth — because the problem almost never shows up lying on a table.
We don't pull you off the bar unless there's a genuine safety reason. We modify your training around the injury — adjusting receiving position, load, and range of motion — so you keep building technique while you heal.
No techs. No handoffs. You see the same fellowship-trained Doctor of PT every single visit — someone who knows your training block, your competition calendar, and your movement history. Continuity is how we get results faster.
Shoulder pain in the snatch is rarely just a 'tight shoulder.' We trace the chain — thoracic mobility, scapular control, wrist position, catch mechanics — and fix the actual driver.
We work around your meet schedule. Whether you're 12 weeks out or in the middle of a peak, we build your rehab to protect your prep — not blow it up.
The FAAOMPT credential — held by fewer than 1% of PTs in the country — means advanced hands-on diagnostic and treatment skills. When we put our hands on you, we're not guessing. We're applying the highest level of manual therapy available in the profession.
The snatch and clean & jerk create a specific injury profile. Here's what Olympic weightlifters most commonly come to us with.
Overhead receiving positions in the snatch place extreme demand on shoulder mobility and stability. We restore the mechanics so you can catch confidently at full depth.
Catching in the front rack and overhead positions stresses the wrists and elbows. We address the tissue and modify your setup to reduce stress while you heal.
Deep receiving positions in the squat snatch and squat clean create hip pinching. We address the joint, surrounding tissue, and movement pattern.
The pull and receiving positions load the lumbar spine in sport-specific ways. We identify whether it's a mobility, stability, or technique problem — and fix it.
High-volume squatting in the receiving position creates patellar and IT band stress. We load the tendon correctly and rebuild your squat mechanics.
Limited upper back extension affects your overhead position and front rack. We restore thoracic mobility so you can receive confidently at full depth.
